PROMOTING PROFICIENCY IN ACADEMIC PROMPTING

AI models like GPT-3.5 and 4 wield remarkable capabilities, but they do come with limitations. AI doesn't truly understand context. For example, ChatGPT generates contextually fitting responses through probabilities. AI lacks personal opinions or real-time data unless explicitly part of the prompt.

Effective prompts require a strong grasp of the relevant domain to minimize misleading or erroneous responses. Providing contextual cues refines AI's output and helps curb inconsistencies.

AI typically provides generalized responses, but specificity yields more relevant outcomes. Clear questions and contextual specifics enhance AI's comprehension. Specify objectives, tone, formatting, and thematic focus.

Detail-rich prompts are key to optimal performance. Reducing AI's need for assumptions and logical inference leads to higher-quality results.

Collaboration enhances AI prompting. Creative thinking, varied approaches, and diverse interactions can improve desired outputs.

Striving for perfection requires iterative refinement. Fine-tune prompts and engage AI in extended dialogues for enhanced responses.

Adapt AI's outputs to suit the target audience's understanding and familiarity with the topic.

Incorporate AI within ethical frameworks, considering privacy, fairness, and transparency. Stakeholders should understand AI integration.

Keeping pace with the latest research and developments is crucial for effective AI integration.

Tone Length Temperature Voice (e.g., enthusiastic, empathetic, authoritative...) Avoid ambiguity-prone terms Request alternative outputs if initial results are unsatisfactory.

Effective prompts require a strong grasp of the relevant domain to minimize misleading or erroneous responses. Providing contextual cues refines AI's output and helps curb inconsistencies.

Engage AI with follow-up questions for clarity Instruct AI on desired output format Provide additional context if AI's response lacks clarity Include illustrative examples to guide AI's understanding.

Correct AI on inaccuracies Specify output preferences Keep AI on-topic Reiterate essential instructions when necessary.

Utilize sequential prompts for structured guidance Reframe queries if AI's output deviates from expectations Seek justification when clarification is needed.

ChatGPT excels at simplifying intricate matters, such as legal terminology. Provide a clear interpretation for the following:
Before: “In the event that any payment or benefit by the Company would be subject to excise tax, then the cash severance payments shall be reduced. All payments and benefits by the Company shall hereinafter be referred to as the ‘Total Payments.’ This includes the payments and benefits under Section 3(a) hereof.”
After: If the company needs to pay a tax or provide benefits, including those in Section 3(a), and this tax applies to those payments and benefits, we term them "Total Payments."

With your wealth of teaching experience, craft a step-by-step guide for a specific task. For instance, provide a guide on [TASK] - start by listing all necessary tools, ingredients, or supplies. Follow this with numbered instructions for each step. If the instructions exceed 400 words, offer an option to view the remaining steps.

Given your expertise in [TOPIC], enumerate diverse viewpoints that the subject entails. Think from various audience perspectives, considering different interests. Present your insights as a bullet-pointed list.
